Block: Premium and/or Sponsored Listings

[Andros]

Any Idea how to create a block for premium and/or sponsored listings to show on a new column on index page?

Thank you

You may use random listing block.

<%block_random_listing title="Random Links" max_item="3" listing_type="sponsored_premium"%>

The available listing_type option are:
- all
- sponsored_premium
- sponsored
- premium

Thanks Dody that works wonders. Any chance you can give me the code for limiting the text in description of each url for premium/random listings? Also how can I have a different template only for premium listings ie in place of template_26?

Do you mean like a javascript which count the characters and no longer accept input if it's 0? If so I don't think indexu can handle it. It rather complex because we need to alter custom field database to store maximum characters.

Also how can I have a different template only for premium listings ie in place of template_26?

Do you mean sponsored_rows.html and premium_rows.html?
